On Sunday 6 February (UK time), the Queen will have reigned for 70 years making her Britain’s longest reigning monarch, and the longest still-serving sovereign in the world.
February 6 is a poignant time for her, as it also marks the day her father George VI died in 1952.
The 95-year-old monarch appeared in good spirits as she mingled with volunteer groups, pensioners and fellow members of the local Women’s Institute group at Sandringham House.
She joked with guests while cutting into a cake in her honour.
